FO - Battle For Balkans Theater
-
There is a problem with key mapping my auto pilot keys work fine in other theaters but not in this one after update
Just a heads up. -
Is this user the only one having problems running outta video RAM? The textures are 2048x2048, which is way too big even for this 2GB 6970 devil.
Trying to convert them to half the size, will report back if successful.

Just a heads up.Theaters don`t change the keyfile. Are you saying that you can switch back and forth between theatres and only battle for Balkans fails to recognise your AP keys ? Flying the f16 ?

I`m guessing that the issue is only after several hours of continuous flight ? My 1GB card has no problems but typical usage time would average 2hrs

It probably has to do with deficient Linux GPU memory management… But not happening on other theaters. Downsampled all large textures 2x, seems to alleviate the problem. Recommend the Crunch software for converting DDS.

I am confused… the torrent says version 1.12. In this thread, the video says 3.0. Is that the texture pack or the theater? https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?12025-New-Texture-Balkans

It’s two different theaters. “Balkans” is not “Battle of Balkans”.

Thanks EDIT It was the standard Balkans I had problems with, downloading this one now!

How is BfB 1.12 is a one-click installer? When I unzip it I get two files, an application and a SRC file. Clicking on either of them does not install BFB. What is the Process?
I know my way around a computer, but same question here…
I’ve unzipped the exe to a random folder/desktop/Falcon-folder, am running it on an admin-account with the specific RMB-command to Run As Administrator and even tried a few compatibility modes.Whenever I try to start the exe, I get a warning saying:
“Can not access the specified device, path, or file get. You may not have access permissions to the item.”Thinking it might just have been a corrupt download, I tried downloading again, but never hit any luck…
Also: AFAIK, BfB 1.12 is the latest and only version currently available since Nov 30 2013, yet for some reason, I have a “setup_Battle_for_Balkans_1.2.1.exe” (995Mb) on my computer, which - according to the file information - was created (by developers, I suppose?) on Jan 05 2014 and downloaded by me on Jan 10 2014. Did I miss something, or have I travelled in time and sent myself an update to 1.12 already?

They (FO) released a patch which shows 1.2.1 although it does not update the version on the screen. Here is a link to the notes on the patch install in the first post.

Can’t see it…

The 1.2.1 patch was not official and was a stop gap solution….

Be sure anti-virus isn’t running or has flagged the installer exe

Guys, I read in this topic that the installer can trigger anti-virus software, and should be considered a false positive. During my latest full scan (prior to trying the install) my computer was clear, apart from the warning about the BfB-archive, which I chose to ignore as suggested here.
I wouldn’t say I’m 100% certain it’s related, but just fyi, I do have a computer issue now, with my computer sending messages over Skype some 20 minutes after I shut down my computer. I haven’t tried installing anything other than BfB, and have only visited “known” sites since my last scan, so at this moment, I’m prone to think that somehow, the BfB does not longer contain a false, but a real positive…
I’m currently running another full scan for viruses, malware and adware and will keep you updated.

Not sure how Skype can send messages 20 minutes after you shut down a computer. But remember that Skype itself is spyware. (strange behaviour could be caused by Skype itself)

Neither do I, but I’ve had no issues whatsoever until this week, despite having Skype installed for as long as I can remember…
Haven’t done much on my computer either, as I’m still having exams and spend +80% of my awake time studying… That’s why I can relatively easily recount what I have and haven’t done on my computer, and there’s nothing out of the ordinary, apart from trying to install the BfB theater. The few things I have downloaded since came from trusted sources or were scanned for viruses, as good habit, before activating/opening them as well. (not necessarily a 100% fail-safe system, I know)
Anyway, scans are complete now:
Malwarebytes and adwcleaner came up clean regarding BfB (did find a few minor other issues, but nothing big, apart from an Trojan in BMS 4.32 Update 2.exe - found by MWB ) and anti-virus is giving me the same warnings as it did before…Guess I’ll have to wait and see a bit, to see if the problem persists.

This is normal Skype behavior.
Skype will send all messages (history) when you sign in on another system using the same account and/or you (or the person you were speaking with) comes online.
We release our theaters to the public and share them amongst ourselves. Injecting them with trojans is not only absurd, but would be extremely damaging to our community.

Oooooh, ok.
How stupid of me to forget about the dozens of people I spoke to about opening a credit card account, because it’s absolutely free and so easy to make thousands of dollars per week like that. Must be the exam stress, I guess. Sorry. :rolleyes:

Haha, Skype is spyware…it absolutely is, you have to watch it very closely.
